MTL - Everything Is Too Easy After Maxing My Talents-Chapter 218 The king regards his ministers like soil mustard, and the ministers regard the emperor like a bandit

   In the May of the Great Zhou calendar 7295, after two months of tug-of-war, hundreds of thousands of Zhenxi troops in the frontier suffered heavy casualties. Even the so-called invincible Zhenxiguan became more and more crumbling due to the fierce offensive of the Qin army.

  Under such circumstances, many honest and kind-hearted scholars in the Da Zhou territory wrote letters to the Emperor Zhou admonishing them, wanting the Emperor Zhou to send troops to help the frontier troops in the western frontier.

   After all, once Zhenxiguan was breached, nearly a million Qin troops would rush in.

  The entire Northwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be turned into the worst purgatory in the world in an instant.

  This result is unacceptable to many readers.

  However, most of the documents they submitted were ignored, and even if a few of them got a reply, most of them were perfunctory and procrastinating words from the court.

   Seeing that no one in the imperial court paid any attention to him, many scholars suddenly became enthusiastic.

  Dang even issued an article pointing at the noses of many princes and nobles and officials of the current dynasty.

   After all, many scholars have their own strength of character. Since no one pays attention to their advice, they will spray all the officials in the entire court.

   Angrily scolded them as a group of treacherous ministers, disregarding the society of the great Zhou world.

   Regarding this, many officials of the court were silent and did not reply.

  After all, this group of students who have lived a good life since they were young have the ability to give advice, but they can't even pass the exam. How can they expect them to understand Da Zhou's current situation?

  This war is different from any other time in the past. The Great Qin is in full swing. Except for a very small number of troops that frightened the frontier Great Tang, almost the entire army is out.

  In the face of such offensives, even Zhenxiguan, which claims to never fall, was on the verge of falling several times under its impact.

  And the most important thing is that Da Qin has not only opened up the front of the West Frontier, there are hundreds of thousands of Qin troops in the North who are attacking rapidly. In other words, the Qin army opened up two huge fronts at the same time on the Dazhou side, and each of them has an absolute advantage.

   In this case.

   Dazhou can still stick to the line of Fulongguan, Fuhuguan, and Futianguan by gathering all its forces. It just needs to grit its teeth and procrastinate for a little longer. When the Qin army's momentum is not so strong, everything can be easily solved.

After all, the Qin army is attacking Dazhou in full force at this moment, and the troops behind the Qin State must be extremely empty. The reason why the King of Qin dared to be so decisive and ruthless was that his idea should be to prepare for a quick battle and not give other coveted countries a share of the pie. Opportunity.

On the contrary, after understanding the military plan of the Qin army, as long as there is no large-scale defeat in the Great Zhou Dynasty, relying on the advantages of local operations and shorter supply routes for food and grass, it may be no problem to drag the Qin army for a year or so .

   Not even a year or so.

  After mobilizing millions of troops to kill Da Zhou, Qin's domestic military power is already very empty, and Datang in the south who is also ready to move will never let go of such a good opportunity to attack.

   Moreover, once the Qin army on the Eastern Expedition was frustrated, there would be no need for others to stumbling, and the country would make a fuss.

  In summary, in the opinion of many officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Zhou Tianzi himself, it is very wise not to send troops to help the Zhenxi Army in the western frontier.

  —If rushing to aid the western frontier, not to mention stretching the logistics supply line of the Zhou army, the Qin army in the north may rush thousands of miles to cut off the food supply line.

   Years of wars that have been unable to make ends meet have already consumed a lot of money, food and armor from the Dazhou treasury. It is obviously very irrational to extend the front line at this moment.

  Besides, the people in the northwest and the northwest are not Dazhou people. They were the people of the Dagan Kingdom 5,000 years ago. What does it matter if they die more or less?

   On the contrary, it is still a good thing from another point of view.

  After all, if enough Zhenxi troops died.

   It can also consume more of the Qin army's vitality, and both lose and lose to the Qin army.

As for the people who died in the war in the Northwest and the Northwest, they can just make room for the increasingly overcrowded Central Plains. After the war is over, without the hindrance of the Zhenxi Army, the imperial court can entrust some nobles in the Central Plains. , To further strengthen Dazhou's dominance over the Northwest and Northwest.

all in all.

  No matter how you look at it, leading an army to rescue the Northwest is a loss-making business.

   Therefore, the politicians in the entire Great Zhou court chose to be collectively blind, ignoring the disparity in military strength between the two regions in the northwest and the Qin army, and made up their minds to use the troops in the northwest and the two regions to consume the strength of the Qin army.

  Only children would naively talk about right and wrong.

  Mature politicians are hard-hearted and only weigh the pros and cons in their eyes.

  As for the human tragedy under the pros and cons, as long as it doesn't burn them, what does it matter to them?

   After all the dust settles, it will be all blamed on Qin Jun. Anyway, the dead can't speak.

  …

  Under such circumstances, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the imperial court has given up the two places in the northwest and is determined to fight the Qin army to the death at the three levels of Fulong Fuhu.

  It is naturally unrealistic to rely solely on the strength of the Qin army and one country in the northwest.

   Sure enough, when the war advanced to the third month, the land of West Border began to become precarious.

  However, just when everyone in Dazhou thought that the Zhenxi Army was about to be unable to withstand the attack of the Qin Army, a mysterious army unexpectedly appeared on the battlefield of Zhenxi Pass.

  This army is not large in number, but it is very well equipped and well trained.

   It was their arrival that forcibly breathed a sigh of relief to Zhenxiguan, which was on the verge of collapse, and made Zhenxiguan persevere.

  After receiving the news, the whole Da Zhou looked sideways at it.

  Everyone is very interested in the origin of this mysterious army that suddenly appeared.

   But the helpless thing is that the battle ahead is tense at the moment, and all places are in a state of intense preparations for war. It is difficult for spies to move around for a while, and there is no way to investigate the origin of this mysterious army in the first place.

  However, Da Zhou hadn't recovered completely.

  The Qin army, which was still attacking cities and territories in the north, suddenly stopped its offensive for some reason.

   This really made countless people feel unprepared. Taking advantage of this short window period, the Xingyue Army gathered in various towns in the Northland suddenly withdrew from the Northland on a large scale.

   Even many soldiers from the Zhenbei Army followed them and left the city.

   At the same time, the Xingyue Army and a part of the Zhenbei Army issued a shocking announcement to the entire Northwest.

"Looking through the history books, I have heard that the mission of the army is to be loyal to the country, and that the destiny of soldiers is to die in battle, but I have never heard that officials and kings are indifferent to seeing millions of people in dire straits! "

  “There is an old saying that if the king treats his ministers like brothers and feet, then his ministers will treat him like his heart;

"Now, the imperial court wants to use the strength of the Xingyue Army, the Zhenbei Army, and the Zhenxi Army to fight against the entire thirty-two continents of Qin. We have more than enough energy but not enough power. We have repeatedly asked the imperial court for reinforcements, but the imperial court and Zhou Tianzi watched helplessly. Witnessing the tens of millions of people and millions of troops fighting the Qin army in the two places in the northwest without sending a single soldier..."

   "This kind of country where people and gods are indignant, and heaven and earth are punishing each other, such a ruthless and ruthless monarch who has no people...does not deserve the loyalty of millions of troops on the frontier, nor does it deserve to enjoy the tax offerings of tens of millions of people in the Northwest and Northwest!"

"The Northland is about to become the battlefield for the Qin army to attack on a large scale. We feel sorry for all our compatriots. We will open up a road for everyone to escape to the land of Xizhen. As long as there are Zhenxi Army and Xingyue Army in one day, the land of Xizhen The Human Emperor Pass in the desert will never be broken!"

  After this news came out.

  The Xingyue Army and a small part of the Zhenbei Army began to withdraw from the northern battlefield in an orderly manner.

  Five of the twelve cities in the Northland have been occupied by the Qin army, and 50% of the remaining seven cities have also chosen to evacuate.

   For this day, You Aotian has actually already been mentally prepared.

  He is a pure soldier and a traditional soldier.

  The glory in his heart made You Aotian unable to accept surrender without a fight.

  Therefore, when Li Yueming found him, You Aotian was very free and easy, saying that all the soldiers in the Northern Zhenbei Army who were willing to evacuate could evacuate with the Xingyue Army, but he would not leave the Northland that he had guarded all his life.

  He lived for most of his life, and he also stood upright for most of his life.

   Reluctant to go to the end and lose his backbone as a fighter.

  Beidi, Zhenbeicheng.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar apprentice in front of you, You Aotian's expression was quite complicated, he sighed and said with relief: "Just because I stay here doesn't mean that what you did was wrong, in fact, many times, many things are not at all Right or wrong, you can find a way out for the people of the Northland, it is the luck of the people of the Northland, and it is also the luck of me, You Aotian..."

   "Aside from wielding knives and guns in my life, what I am most grateful for is that I was able to train you outstanding disciples in my later years! Go, I hope you will be kind to the Zhenbei Army and millions of people in the Northland in the future!"

   "I will stay here and stand the last post for the Northland!"

   Regarding this, Li Yueming was silent for a long time, and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

   silently turned his head and left.

  Words travel very fast.

  After receiving the declaration, the people of Northland hesitated for a moment.

  Among the court and the Xingyue Army, they finally chose the Xingyue Army.

  After so many years, the Xingyue Army has already established a good political reputation in the north. Compared with the imperial court that does not regard them as human beings, the Xingyue Army that has guarded them for decades is obviously more trustworthy.

  So many people packed their bags one after another, and under the guidance of the Xingyue Army, they moved towards the western frontier.

  The news spread to Haojing.

   In a rage, Zhou Tianzi smashed half of the palace with a slap, and roared: "Li Yueming, I treat you well, this evil beast. I didn't expect it to be an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!"

  Although the actions of the Xingyue Army were not clearly stated, they had already completely chosen to betray Da Zhou.

  He calculated that the Zhenxi Army would not surrender.

  But they didn't expect that Xingyue Army would stand up and stab Da Zhou at such a critical moment.

The most puzzling thing for Zhou Tianzi is that the main battlefield between the Qin army and the Great Zhou is in the western frontier, and there are obviously only more than 300,000 Qin troops in the north, although the Xingyue army and Zhenbei army can cope with the 300,000 Qin troops. The army is under a lot of pressure, but it's not to the point where you need to raise your hands and surrender, right?

  However, Emperor Zhou soon knew why Li Yueming was leaving the Northland.

   Originally, he was still considering how to punish Li Yueming, a guy who blatantly betrayed.

   It is really incomprehensible to not get him back and light up the sky lanterns.

   But at this moment, the Qin army who had been fighting **** battles in the western frontier suddenly appeared outside the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the northern land of the Great Zhou.

  The mighty Qin army of millions moved like lightning, passed through the twelve cities of the Northland that had long been unguarded, and led the army to attack Fulong Pass.

   In just three days, nearly 100,000 soldiers in Fulong Pass were killed or injured!

  The entire Fulong Pass was almost flattened by the Qin Army's iron cavalry. Fortunately, at the last moment, the large number of dragon and tiger troops pushed up, and barely suppressed the Qin Army's first round of attack.

  After hearing the news, Zhou Tianzi was not even angry anymore.

  I just feel cold all over my body.

  If he still doesn't know what happened by this time, it can only be said that he is too stupid to be the emperor.

   No wonder Li Yueming is so courageous, daring to challenge him openly.

   It turned out that it had already been calculated.

  So more than ten years ago, Li Yueming, who was just a teenager, had already opened up with Qin Jun and the spirit beasts in the extremely cold snow mountain?

   Rao is looking back now, Zhou Tianzi still feels a little incredible.

  …

  In the distant Beibinghe Town, the expression on Li Yueming's face was not at all relaxed.

  After a short discussion between him and Wang Ziwei, he formulated such a plan to protect himself.

  The Zhenxi army obviously would not surrender to the Qin army. They would rather die in battle and shed the last drop of blood, and they would never leave the land of Xizhen and Zhenxiguan for half a step.

   This is the basis for the Zhenxi Army to live and work. If it is lost, the soul of the Zhenxi Army will no longer exist.

  But the fact that the Zhenxi Army cannot surrender does not mean that the Xingyue Army cannot surrender either!

  The reason why the one hundred thousand mountains could not pass through the million Qin army was that the agreement was reached under Li Yueming's deliberate control.

  As long as Li Yueming wants to, he can let the little fox draw a path for the Qin army, allowing the mighty Qin army to bypass Zhenxi Pass and enter the Great Zhou from the north.

   As Li Yueming's strongest leg.

  The little fox in the extremely cold snow mountain is the foundation for the Xingyue Army to survive in the gap between the Qin Army and the Great Zhou for a long time.

   Now this big thick leg has reached the most critical moment to play a role.

  Li Yueming first contacted the Ninth Prince and told him part of the plan.

  After so many years of consolidation, the Nine Princes now have a very high status in the Qin army.

  The Qin army of the previous generation had already been in a semi-retired state a few years ago.

  Now most of the military affairs of the Qin Army are controlled by the Nine Princes.

   Looking at it from another perspective, the Ninth Prince has already gained an absolute advantage in this battle for the crown prince. If there are no accidents, he will be able to succeed to the throne in a short time.

  After hearing the news about Li Yueming, the Ninth Prince was naturally ecstatic.

  If there is a choice, Qin Jun is of course unwilling to gnaw **** the hard bones of the Zhenxi Army, which has teeth and not much meat.

  So the two hit it off.

The Ninth Prince asked the Qin army to leave an army to pretend to attack Zhenxiguan, and on the other hand, let Wang Ziwei and the Zhenxi army cooperate to perform the illusion of being attacked by the main force of the Qin army, so as to cover up the fact that the main force of the Qin army was marching towards Shiwanda Mountain. fact.

  He and the Qin army agreed on an attack time, and before this time came, as many innocent people as possible would be evacuated from the Northland.

   And through the existence of the little fox, a non-aggression agreement was agreed with Qin Jun.

   Once the Qin Army points its finger at Beibinghe Town and the Xingyue Army, Li Yueming will ask the little fox to cut off the supply line of the Qin Army. At that time, the more than one million Qin Army may be able to forcefully return to Hangu Pass with their strong military strength.

  But the plan to attack Dazhou is probably going to be completely ruined.

  After several operations, with the unremitting efforts of Li Yueming and Wang Ziwei, they finally temporarily eliminated the impending disaster for the Xingyue Army and Zhenxi Army.

   Now, it is not Qin and Da Zhou that cause Li Yueming the most headaches, but the large number of people in the Northland. How to resettle so many refugees with their families and families is definitely a matter that requires Li Yueming to use eighteen martial arts.

  Li Yueming has mobilized all the food that Beibinghe Town and Xingyue Army can mobilize, and Zhenbei Army and Zhenxi Army have also more or less provided food.

  But it is still about half of the food that the refugees need on the way to migrate.

   No matter how high Li Yueming's political and political power is.

   There is no way to create food out of thin air that can support the survival of tens of millions of people.

   Therefore, this long journey of relocation was destined to be extremely difficult from the very beginning. Before the turmoil completely started, Li Yueming still needed to settle this hot potato.

  Only in this way, can the Xingyue Army, which has fully grasped the right time, place and people, be invincible on the next vast stage.

  …
